Teac VRDS T-1 CD Transport. Good quality machine build to a high standard with some extra goodies.

This was a standard gear replacement job plus general service.
Worth noting a the Tri-Clock mod and addition of power filter.
These things use VRDS version CMK-4 which is pretty tricky to re-assemble.
Servo board is very similar - if not exactly the same - as on Wadia 16 CD player. It also features extra cover underneath the regular outside one.
Reads anything but not as fast to respond as the magnetically driven units.

They were a beautiful pice of machinery, have a Mac-MCD 751 transport only with the same Teac Drive,only problem is You can't get parts for it , I just hope for best and keep it clean and use it very gracefully, Teac has a new VRDS unit out now , I believe it's around $2500 transport only , what a shame for the older units with the parts issue I believe it's called planned obsolescence

You always have some nicr players and transports I compared my 605es vs new Audiolab 9000cdt both as transports and imho the Lab does sound better 😥 but sony beats it in every other aspect speed read ahead and errors and T.o.c sony reads fast kind of make me sad for real ' but will thr lab last 40 years ? I dought it ! But lab has better timing rythm and pace but Sony sounds amazing as a player with its Tda1541
